Has somebody said something? I have been surprised at times to find the site does not have some I would have thought longstanding fleetmembers, and wonder about their absence. Is it because of site policies, we have already heard from Tony how family members are quite happy to see postings of their ancestors pics so are our rules onerous. Can't imagine that the FBI or Scotland Yard, even Fiji 5-0, going to raid us for posting pics that don't meet copyright, as afterall they are only being displayed, not sold for great profit.
The internet has devalued the once premium the majority of photoes have commanded yet they are still good enough to be posted for international appreciation through the likes of the shipspotting site.
The Russian postings are great, and from my perspective postings of old British ships are appreciated but we still have some to see that could be addressed in posting old photoes, am sure the original photographers who didn't want their work posted would have made provisions for them to remain hidden away.
I hope miraflores changes his mind and there is a satisfactory pathway for images of the ships of yesteryear to be included in the shipspotting community.
Cheers
Brent
